14. Gems of Wisdom
The most successful people are those who are
good at plan B
Failure’s hard, but success is far more
dangerous. If you’re successful at the wrong
thing, the mix of praise, money and opportunity
can lock you in forever.
It is not the strongest of the species that
survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one
most responsive to change

22. If you don’t like change, you’re going to like
irrelevance even less
Use goals to guide you, not govern you
Treat goals as hypothesis
If there is nothing very special about your
work, no matter how hard you apply yourself
you won’t get noticed, and that increasingly
means you won’t get paid much either
